RESEARCH Geography – Where in the world Watch the video and learn about different food people eat around the world. You can then have a go at matching the picture of the food to its description and the continent it comes from. When one person in your family has been shopping this week have a look at the food packaging and see if you can find where it has come from. You will find lots of fruit and vegetables have travelled very far!

Watch the video here – https://getseteatfresh.co.uk/resources/worldsoffood There is a lot of information here. Page 6 is very hepful. https://www.safefood.eu/SafeFood/media/SafeFoodLibrary/Documents/Publications/Research%20Reports/Where-does-our-food-come-from_-Booklet.pdf

I hope you had a lovely break last week and made sure you stayed safe if you were out enjoying the sunshine! I spoke to lots of you about the swans at Red House Park

and was very excited to see that some of them have now hatched! Have a look for them if you go to the park this

week! Remember to try your best with all your activities and

have fun along the way! I am hoping to see some more of you in school very soon.

Maths – Task 4

News report example

During the visit for the five golden ticket winners, a shocking report has revealed that 9 year old Violet Beauregarde has turned into a gigantic blueberry. Despite Mr Wonka’s warning, she chewed a piece of blueberry pie chewing gum, that wasn’t ready for eating. Mr Wonka who owns the factory explained that he had opened his factory to five lucky golden ticker winners after a long period of being closed. Years ago, spies broke into his factory and stole all his secret recipes, which forced him out of business. “I told all the children that they must not touch or eat anything during the factory tour.” When he was interviewed Mr Wonka said, “I warned her that the gum wasn’t yet ready for eating and I was running some more tests, but the child refused to listen. Consequently, she has now been rolled away to see if the problem can be rectified. One eyewitness recounted that Violet was just a tiny pair of legs and minute pair of arms sticking out of a great round ball. Another claimed that everybody was staring at Violet. Veruca exclaimed, “It was a terrible and peculiar sight as the skin all over her body had turned the purplish-blue colour of blueberry juice and she blew up like a huge hot air balloon!” Mrs Beauregarde told our report, “I can’t believe that my little girl has turned completely blue like a blueberry! Mr Wonka has a lot to answer for. My poor, darling girl!” The race is now on to see if Violet, who has been take to the juicing room, can be safely juiced and returned to her normal size and shape. Mrs Beauregarde is concerned that she will have a blueberry for a daughter for ever. If you have any further information, please contact our reporting team.

Research Task This picture is a clue to help you. The foods below are matched to the country they come from. This should help you work out which continent the foods are from.
